Supreme Court dismisses appeal, sending case back for retrial due to procedural irregularities in the bar admission exam.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the applicant's appeal against the National Council of Lawyers' decision to deny his entry onto the list of bar applicants. The applicant argued that the council violated the law by using a regulation adopted without explicit statutory authority to conduct the competitive exam. The court found that the contested decision was invalid because it relied on a procedure established before new laws requiring a specific exam format came into effect. Consequently, the court set aside the lower court's ruling and remanded the case to the Administrative Court for a new examination.
